I wanted an ant farm forever, but I couldn't find one that doesn't look kinda toy'ish so I designed this to transform a glass candle holder into a 360 Degree dugout.

The part in the middle creates an obstruction to force them to tunnel against the glass; Additionally, it has a little pool at the top so that you can give the ants a bit of a water reserve without flooding the earth.

The whole thing accepts a mason jar lid, so we can design any kind of adapter/joinery you need. Or just slap on an old lid to keep it closed :)

Seal the interior piece to the drive with silicone or hot glue; do the same for the lid so that the ants can't find a crack and escape.
